For the position in the field of strategy we are looking especially for candidates with a clear research and teaching profile at the crossroads of (competitive) strategy, innovation, and change. In line with this profile, we are looking for candidates interested in strategic innovation, dynamic capabilities, organizational learning, exploration-exploitation, and organizational search behavior, against the backdrop of changing business landscapes and disruptive technologies.

For the position in the field of international business we are looking especially for candidates with a clear research and teachning focus on international business, preferably whose research agenda links up with the ongoing research at our section in the context of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and ethics, sustainable development, innovation and global mobility, offshoring, emerging economies, culture, and digital transformation in global value chains.

For the position in the field of innovation we are looking for scholars who share our passion for the field of strategy and digital innovation and will contribute to our research and teaching on digital transformation.
